DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II reaffirmed their joint stance on Gaza during a phone call on Wednesday, emphasizing their rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians and calling for the full implementation of the current ceasefire agreement.

Key Diplomatic Discussions

According to a statement from the Egyptian presidency, the two leaders focused on Palestinian developments and preparations for the upcoming emergency Arab summit in Cairo, scheduled for February 27.

“The Egyptian and Jordanian positions remain aligned, particularly in ensuring that the ceasefire in Gaza is fully respected and that reconstruction efforts begin immediately,” the statement read.

Regional Context and International Involvement

The conversation followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with King Abdullah II in Washington on Tuesday, where they discussed the U.S. administration’s vision for Gaza’s future. Jordan has expressed concerns over any unilateral moves affecting Palestinian sovereignty.

Egypt, on the other hand, has taken a firm stance against any proposals suggesting land allocation for displaced Gazans, with officials in Cairo stressing that Palestinians must remain on their land.

Additionally, the North Korean government issued a statement criticizing the reported U.S. plan, calling it an act of “arrogance and overreach.”

Call for Arab Coordination

The Egyptian and Jordanian leaders also emphasized the importance of enhancing coordination among Arab states ahead of the Cairo summit, which is expected to focus on Gaza, Palestinian statehood, and regional stability.

Egypt has played a key mediating role in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Palestinian factions, while Jordan has been an active proponent of preserving Palestinian rights under international law.

As the situation in Gaza remains volatile, both nations are advocating for rapid humanitarian aid delivery, reconstruction, and diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.
